Lefty Progressives Making Things Simple - Guns, Terrorists, and Victims

The recent tragic terror attack in San Bernardino has sparked intense conversation on the internet. Leave it to our lefty, progressive pals to lecture us on the dangers of "assault weapons" (it's rather agonizing they still don't realize ALL guns are assault weapons), and how if only we could make more laws, shootings would no longer occur. They seem to base this belief on magic.

Take this recent exchange on Facebook, where one man informs us of such an easy, simple way to stop all gun violence:

Perhaps it's their insecurity in the world that makes these sort of people lash out at things like facts and reason.

In a horrific example of journalism, Linda Stasi for the New York Daily News decided to give the terrorists a pass on killing one of their victims, Nicholas Thalasinos, whom she describes as an equal bigot deserving his death. She makes this point very clear when she states at the beginning of the article there were "13 innocent victims," as opposed to the actual number of 14.

She compares the men, leaving the reader to believe there is almost no difference between them, except for the fact that one is dead due to the other's actions.

What they didn’t realize is that except for their different religions they were in many ways similar men who even had the same job.

Yes, apparently Stasi views bigotry as being equivalent to that of being a terrorist. Still, she only makes this conclusion based on some posts this man made on Facebook. Even worse, she doesn't provide any screencaps showing these supposed rants filled with bigotry so, I guess we are just supposed to take her word for it. She continues:

Thalasinos was an anti-government, anti-Islam, pro-NRA, rabidly anti-Planned Parenthood kinda guy, who posted that it would be “Freaking Awesome” if hateful Ann Coulter was named head of Homeland Security. He asked, “IS 1. EVERY POLITICIAN IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR? 2. EVERY POLITICIAN IS A MORON? 3. EVERY POLITICIAN IS RACIST AGAINST JEWS?” He also posted screeds like, “You can stick your Muslim Million Man march up your asses,” and how “Hashem” should blow up Iran.

So dedicated to ad hominem attacks, Stasi actually worded this in such a way that would lead the reader to believe it was Thalasinos who called Ann Coulter "hateful." Exactly who is this Stasi to determine who is hateful and who is not? Did she join some moral-brigade I am unaware of? How exactly does claiming Coulter to be hateful not make her a bigot? Last I checked, being a bigot simply means being intolerant of another person's views.

big·otˈbiɡət/
noun
a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.

The entire article is merely just a confirmation that in the minds of extreme lefties, some people are more equal than others. If you chose to kill someone, just make sure it's one of those right-wingers because they sort of deserve it, right? Don't blame the radical and his fanatical religion that drives him to commit a terrorist act, just blame the victim.

The simplistic and irrational thinking is never in short supply on the far-left.

Though California has strict gun-laws, this terrorist attack still managed to occur. Even IF one of the victims was indeed a bigot, he most certainly was not the one who carried out this murderous deed, and there is no comparing a rant on Facebook with the work of a murdering terrorist. Thalasinos was an innocent victim who did not commit any crime, despite what Stasi would like to believe. Having a different opinion that isn't "politically correct" is not reflective of someone worthy of death. Perhaps Stasi should worry about her own bigotry, or at least have a better command of the English language.

The truth is in the US, there is no clear pattern of gun laws automatically leading to less gun crimes. This also means that less gun laws do not mean more or even less crime either. The numbers can actually be skewed in such a way that either side can make arguments depending on where they fall on the ideological spectrum. Many of these statistics involve suicide, which is technically a crime but only the person pulling the trigger is the victim.

I wish I could tell you it's more clear-cut but, our country is quite unique since we cover not only a large amount of land but as you travel across this country you will find many different types of mindsets. A small town in the South will be vastly different from a major metropolitan city in the North. There are many anomalies that both sides will hold up as an example. For example, DC has many strong gun control laws, yet it also has one of the highest markings for gun violence. On the other hand, places like NY and NJ also have many gun laws and their gun crime rates have indeed fallen. Yet, no one can claim that gun laws actually equal lower crime rates.

I say it's immoral to tell a citizen they are not allowed to protect themselves. As uncomfortable as it may be, the police are not magicians who float through the air or pop into existence the way Endora did on an episode of Bewitched. Calling the police takes time and waiting for them takes even more time and sometimes those precious minutes are not enough. A person must have the ability to protect themselves in these horrifying experiences. What is needed is education about firearms - how they work, how to use them, and when not to use them. Fear is always combated through knowledge.

Switzerland is a country where gun ownership is high and shootings are quite low. The reason is due to their education. They demand that citizens are educated in how to handle a gun.

Training should be mandatory. Our government will never realistically succeed in taking away guns from our citizens but it can succeed in implementing courses that keep our citizens aware of firearms and how to accurately use them. Rather than stirring the pot by talking about the evils of guns and blaming the victims, we need to get behind more rational ideas that can ultimately unite people on both sides of the aisle.

If It Looks Like a Bomb.... Check Your White Privilege

Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year old Muslim in Texas, completed a science project which was making a clock but, it suspiciously looked like a bomb because a briefcase was used. The young man is said to have been evasive about the clock when he was questioned by the teachers about it. Authorities were contacted and the young man was arrested for a few hours.

In the video clip below, Bill Maher defends the decision to arrest the boy stating truthfully that there was nothing wrong with people being concerned about their safety. In short, Muslims are known for blowing stuff up around the world. Mark Cuban also chimes in saying that he actually spoke with the boy on the phone and heard the young man's sister feeding him answers to say.

“For the past 30 years it’s been one culture that has been blowing s**t up over and over again,” Maher added.

On Twitter, Richard Dawkins has called this boy out as being a fraud. Mohamed had claimed that he invented this clock himself but, this video paints a different picture.

If this is true, what was his motive? Whether or not he wanted the police to arrest him, they shouldn’t have done so https://t.co/LtOFAAmVxK

— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) September 20, 2015

The gentleman narrating the video points out that the components of this clock were not invented at all, instead the parts are all manufactured. The boy simply removed the casing on a regular clock. Was this fraud or a hoax? Was the boy trying to get arrested in order to call attention to himself and gain sympathy? Or was this just a lazy kid who was trying to get an easy A?

Perhaps in the next few days we will get a better grasp on what has occurred here. I guess it just depends on how Mohamed will respond and if we learn anything more about him.

The response to Dawkins has been almost hostile. The Tweets responding to him seem to suggest that the boy's dishonesty should be excused because he's only 14. I find that to be a ridiculous excuse. Why would the boy's age matter when many children his same age are capable of invention? If the video above is true, the best we can say is that Mohamed was extremely dishonest and should not be given praise but rather an F and a scolding.

Comments like, "Don't punish him because he's just curious and took a clock apart" seem to demonstrate that many people in our culture feel that participation is good enough. Yet, if that participation is not met with honestly, how is that good?

I guess we will have to wait and see. What do you think?

Rula Jebreal and Bill Maher

Bill Maher once again points out the intolerance of the religion of peace.

Rula Jebreal tries her best to go after Maher - accusing him of not being serious, that Bill is a bigot, suggesting that he does not discuss facts, telling Maher he doesn't allow people to come on his show, and she even accuses Maher of not knowing what he's talking about concerning the different groups/sects of Islam.

Isn't It Time To Call Islam a Cult and Not a Religion?

The Constitution and Bill of Rights are what give Americans freedom to do mostly what they would like to do, as long as a person does not infringe on the rights of others.

Finally Some Sanity -- No You Can't Wear That Head Scarf!

Finally**** Yes, I originally spelled that in the title wrong. I knew it looked weird and for some reason, no squiggly, red line was found.

(Media credit: WTFV-T)

Demin Zawity, a high school freshman, was banned from participating in a ROTC march, the school's homecoming parade, because she refused to take off her head scarf.

“I was like, you’ve got to be kidding me. I wanted to just break down crying right there,” Zawity told Nashville’s WTVF-TV. “They‘re telling me I’m not allowed to march in the parade just because of a piece of cloth wrapped around my head. And to me it‘s not like it’s just a piece of cloth, to me, it’s like my symbol."

Yeah, a symbol of slavery and the oppression of women! Get that damn thing off your head now! In fact, I would like to see them go a step further and request she not wear that stupid thing at school, period. There is no reason to be wearing that scarf when you are in a free country! That scarf is a symbol of oppression and should be completely discouraged. It is time to make a stand and recognize that not all religions are equal, some are cults.

This has nothing to do with religion and if it's "just a piece of cloth" as she says, then she can just, "take it off." Furthermore, how would CAIR or other bleeding hearts feel if this were someone wearing a white hood? Would that be okay? All symbols, religious or not are not equal. Some represent violence and non-equality.

Tax Payer Money Going to Refurbish Mosques

Yes, it's true. I could not embed the video here so, you will have to click on the title of this post to be taken to the news report to see and hear for yourself.

Who in the world thought that this would be a good idea? Could you imagine if money went to refurbishing a Christian church in the United States?

Where is the ACLU or that Newdow guy that's always bitching about G-d? This is just mind blowing. The hypocrisy is true to liberal form. How does anyone defend this?

Comment below.

Obama Says Church Shouldn't Burn Quran

Obama tells ABC's Good Morning America, that he hopes Rev. Terry Jones listens to the people that are asking him not to go forward with the burning of Qurans.

"If he's listening, I hope he understands that what he's proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans," Obama said. "That this country has been built on the notion of freedom and religious tolerance."

Where is their tolerance? Doesn't this work both ways? Isn't this what our country is about? We allowed Nazis to protest in America during WW2 but, Obama is saying a Quran burning protest is AGAINST American values? Wow. I don't even know where to begin.

Once again, Obama is siding with the enemy because, he is the enemy.

"And as a very practical matter, I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform," the president added.

Yeah, they're already in danger. Thanks for noticing.

"I hope he listens to those better angels and understands that this is a destructive act that he's engaging in," the president said of Jones.

Umm...who are you to talk about "better angels"? 

Obama Wonders Why We Don't Believe He's Christian?

It's an old video and embedding has been disabled but, you can click this link here, and watch how Obama points out verses of the Bible and mocks them.

This is the reason so many question your faith Obama. This is why so many do not even know or, think that you are Christian. First, we've all seen Rev Wright. You sat in this man's church and, considered him a close friend for 20 years.



No one sits in a church that long unless, they believe what that leader is preaching to be truthful. These words are what Obama believes in. This is his core.

I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised to believe Obama is far from being a Christian.

More and More People Are Calling Obama Muslim

Click title of this post for the full story.

According to the Pew Research Center, more Americans, 18% (up from 11% in March 2009), are now calling Obama a Muslim, and not a Christian. 


Well, how can anyone be surprised by this? If you don't think he's Muslim, you certainly wouldn't think he's a Christian. We've all seen the Rev. Wright on various videos that have saturated the internet. We know he doesn't preach Christianity. Preaching hate in an angry fashion is not what Jesus taught. 


Other than him claiming to be a Christian, it seems most of his influence has come from either Islam or, from Rev. Wright. I'm not sure what his religion is. I'm not sure that it really matters at this point. I think the bigger issue here is asking ourselves if this man is capable of running this country. To which my answer is, "no."

Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested

At Fort Jackson in South Carolina, five Muslim soldiers were arrested before Christmas. Apparently, they are suspects in poisoning food at Fort Jackson.

According to the article (you can click on the title of this post), these men were in contact with another group of five Muslims from the Washington DC area. Those five declared jihad on American soldiers, when they traveled over to Pakistan. Before Christmas, these men were arrested by Pakistani authorities.

Obviously, there appears to be much more to this story than what anyone is willing to say. Why? Why are we not being instructed by the White House to be vigilant? Why are they not coming forward with anything? Is Obama going to do the same thing Clinton did and do his best to just ignore terrorism? Or, maybe he can buy some time so he can pin this on a white man?

This doesn't sound right.
